FAMILY THERAPY EDMOND, OK

Family Therapy Edmond

The majority, of Edmond, OK residents, have heard the term family therapy, but do not know or understand the functional need or benefits. The goal, of Evanescence Counseling, in Family therapy Edmond is to bring together parents, siblings and extended family members such as aunts, uncles and grandparents into the treatment process. The family system, which is extremely important, has its own structure and patterns of communication. The structures and communication patters are often defined and enveloped by parenting style, personalities and other influences. Understanding the fundamental concept that every individual is, in part, a product of the environment they grew up in and it plays a huge part of the person they are today. Studies and observations have the importance family plays in our emotional, physical and spiritual development because every individual, in the family system, impacts and is impacted other members.

The benefits of family therapy are multifaceted and may be helpful to the family in the following areas:

Specific issue resolution

Major life change such as a divorce, remarriage, or health issue preparation

Address the role that family plays in an individual’s life

Who is invited and allowed to participate in family therapy session, in Edmond, directly depends on the unique needs and goals of the family. Sometimes, each session may be different, whereas different combinations of family members may participate. Assignments, outside the session, are common. The family therapist may assign family members special assignments to begin the process of addressing a portion of the challenges identified during the session. Each assignment will be addressed in a later session to examine progress and determine further actions if necessary.
